7 Steps to Creating Your First Online Course
About this Event
7 Steps to Creating Your First Online Course: Build your first course blueprint in just 2.5 hours.
Have you always wanted to create an online course but didn't know where to start?
Perhaps you've got years of experience, a valuable skill or specialist knowledge that others regularly ask you about. You know you'd like to teach it, but the thought of creating a course feels overwhelming. What should you teach? How long should it be? Should it be free or paid? How do you know whether anyone will actually buy it?
If that sounds familiar, this workshop is for you.
In this practical, hands-on workshop, you'll learn the COMPASS Framework - a simple 7-step process for planning, validating and building your first online course without spending months creating something that nobody wants.
Rather than trying to build a huge course from day one, you'll learn how to start with a Minimum Viable Course (MVC) - a short, focused course designed to validate your idea, attract your first students and give you the confidence to create a larger programme later.
What you'll learn
During this workshop, we'll cover:
- Choosing the right topic based on your knowledge, experience and interests.
- Defining a clear target audience and avoiding the "course for everyone" trap.
- Creating a Minimum Viable Course with a clear transformation and achievable outcomes.
- Developing simple marketing materials to attract your first students.
- Running your first course with confidence.
- Collecting and analysing feedback to decide your next steps.
- Pre-selling and building a larger course based on real market demand.
By the end of the workshop, you'll have a clear blueprint for your first online course and a practical action plan to help you move forward with confidence.
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is ideal for:
- Coaches and consultants
- Trainers and facilitators
- Subject matter experts
- Aspiring course creators
- Professionals who want to share their expertise online.
No previous experience in course creation is required.
Workshop format
This is a live, face-to-face, interactive workshop consisting of:
- 2 hours of practical teaching.
- 30-minute Q&A session, where you'll be able to ask questions about your own ideas and receive personalised guidance.
The workshop will take place in the heart of London, within easy walking distance of Victoria Station, making it easily accessible whether you're travelling from within London or further afield.
You'll leave with practical ideas, worksheets and a structured framework that you can start applying immediately.
Small group learning
To ensure everyone has plenty of opportunities to participate, this workshop is intentionally limited to a maximum of 10-12 participants.
Unlike large seminars where it's easy to get lost in the crowd, our small group setting allows for a much more interactive learning experience. You'll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions, discuss your own course ideas, receive personalised feedback and learn from the experiences of other participants.
Whether you're still deciding what to teach or already have an idea you'd like to develop, you'll leave with practical guidance that's relevant to your own situation.
